"Weight of a Terrible Past"


Artwork by yours truly,
Juan Fidencio Treviño II

The fate of a monument glorifying a white supremacist lies in the hands of the Brownsville City Commission tonight. Let us hope that they do not accept a position of servitude under the visiting neo-Confederates as their rebel leader, Jefferson Davis, would have enforced.

We do not need symbols of the Confederacy, white supremacy, or white power in Brownsville, Texas, and we should not welcome those who support and fight for the revival of a false whitewashed history that downplays our ignores the prevalence of racial discrimination and overall disrespect toward African-Americans then and now.
